Abstract
Abstract A cassette type receptacle is provided with two sets of parallel internal grooves, one set extending lengthwise at one side of the receptacle and the other set of grooves extending lengthwise at the opposite side of the receptacle. Printed boards are insertable through an opening at one end of the receptacles into the spaces between the grooves so as to be closely retained against edgewise displacement but with some lateral play within the grooves. A lid for the end opening hermetically seals the interior of the receptacle.
